ATOMIZER.

SPEOIFICAIICN fomfing part of Letters Patent No. 254,988, dated March 14, 1882. Application filed Deeembr 19, 1881. (No model) T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAUL LOCHMANN, of the city of Schkenditz, in the Kingdom of Prussa, in the German Empire, have invented Improvements in Atomizing Apparatus,of which the following is a specifioation.

This'invention relates to an improved atomizing apparatus by which water, medicinal preparations, pertumery, and,in short, liquide their inner ends extend downward into-the basin and lift the liquid, so as to distribute it in a fine spray with the steam.

In the accompanyingdrawings, Figure 1 represents a vertical central section of my iniproved atomizing apparatus, and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.

Similar letters of reference iudicate corresponding parts.

A represents the supporting-frame of my improved atomiziug apparatus,said frame carr ying a steam-generutor composed of a vessel, a, containing water, and of an alcobol-lamp or other source of heat, a, below the same.

The steam-generating vessel a is provided with an opening olosed by a screw cap or plug, b, for filling the vessel with water from time to time, as required. From ibis vessel a ex tends a vertical tube, 2, the upper end of wbich earries by a conical bearing the couplingsleeve d, into which two or more radial atom izing-tubes, 7', are inserted. The sleeve d is steadied on the tube iby a downwardly-extending tube, d, as shown in Fig. 1. The steam passes to the tube 1' by boles in the tube t, below the pointed and of the same. The liquid to be atomized is plaeed into aflat annular basin, B, which is supported by the frame A above the generator a, the liquid being conducted from the deepest points of the bowl by snction-tubes 8 to the nozzles r of the steamtubes 1*. As soon as steam is ejected through the nozzles r the tubes 1 are set in motion, and with them the suction-tubes 8, which are attached thereto. The liquid in the basin B is thereby drawn up, taken up by the steam, and tbrown oftiu a fine spray therewitb.

The nozzles of the tubes 7' and 8 are arranged at a suitable angle of inclination to the radial portions of the tubes 7' and 8, so that the steam exerts a propelling action thereon, whereby the rotary motion of the atomizing-tubes, as well as a uniform distribution of the vapors in a large circular path, is accon1plished. As the suction-tubes 8 are applied to the steam-tubes r and rotated therewith a uniform supply of the liquid to be alomized is kept througbout the rotation of the atomizing-tubes.

Having tbus described my invention, I clegim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- 1. The eombination of a steam-generaing vessel, a, having a connecting-tube, i, a basin, B. for the liquid to be atomized, radial steamtubes r r, communicating with the tube 5, and suction-tubes 8, the latter extending from the basin tothe nozzles of the steam-tubes, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination of a steam-generatiug vessel, a, au uprigbt connecting-tube, i, having a top bearing and opeinings below the same, a eouplingsleeve, d I), radial steam-tubes r r, secured to the slee, and suction-tubes 3, (X- tending from the basin to the nozzles of the steamtubes 9'1", substantially as set forth.

In testimonywbereot I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

PAUL LOOHMANN.
